this chart reflects real world activity. Has anybody seen any kinds of 6

6 meters is always open if you use WSJT for meteor scatter. I have
been hearing e's openings here in EM75wx on most evenings. Signals
tend to be weak, but my antenna is not very high.

Although openings can occur just about anytime, May, June, and July are big
openings for sporadic E propagation
